What is low cost?
In this section, we address the following subjects: History of the LCC How LCC can offer such low fares? Why can’t the full service carriers match LCC fares? How low cost fares are structured Common misconceptions on LCC

History of the Low Cost Carrier (LCC)

back to top

The LCC boom began about 36 years ago when Southwest Airlines roam the skies of USA. Rollin King and Herb Kelleher got together and decided to start a different kind of airline with four set of principles: fly one type of aircraft to keep down engineering costs; keep overheads down; turnaround aircraft as quickly as possible; and abandon loyalty or air miles schemes. They began with one simple notion: “If you get your passengers to their destinations when they want to get there, on time, at the lowest possible fares and make darn sure they have a good time in doing so, people will fly your airline.” And you know what? They were right. Southwest Airlines is now the third largest airline in the world in terms of number of passengers carried and also one of the most profitable airlines in the world. Southwest Airline’s success spruced up interest in the LCC concept to all corners of the world. LCC now commands approximately 30% market share of the domestic USA traffic. In Europe, the LCC phenomenon spread much later with Ryanair in 1991, but the growth has been at a much faster pace. Southeast Asia embraced…...

(145 – 130 = ) 15 are left for the other (85 – 55 = ) 30 kids . so only 15 of them can take a ride and rest 15 will be left out. 145 rides were taken. 20 of them...

...project is to design a shielded room. The room should be built in a way so that high-frequency waves cannot penetrate into the room. The material that should be used are nonconducting, nonmagnetic material with a thin coating of conducting material on the outer surface. The conducting layers that can be used are made of aluminum, copper, mu-metal, or conducting polymer.
Frequency=10 MHz
ω=2∙π∙f=2∙π∙(10× 〖10〗^6 )=62.83×〖10〗^7 [rad⁄s]
The shielded room must reduce the electric field intensity by a factor of 〖10〗^6
There are different cases other than the material we should consider, we should also consider the type of incidence the electric field is at, and for that we have a couple of different cases which include:
Normal Incidence
Oblique incidence (sub divided into)
Parallel polarization.
Perpendicular polarization
Question 1
Using professional sources (the book) we obtained the conductivity, permeability, cost, and density of the following four materials
Table 1: Table of values
Material Conductivity [σ] Permeability
[μ] Density [kg/m^3] Cost
[Unit/Kg]
Aluminum 3.6 × 〖10〗^7 µ0 2700 1.5
Copper 5.7 × 〖10〗^7 µ0 8960 1
Mu-metal 0.5 × 〖10〗^7 〖10〗^5 µ0 7800 100
Polymer 0.001 µ0 1200 0.01
We assumed that ɛ = 1 for conductive materials,
Question 2
We now have to calculate the minimum thickness required for each of the four materials, but we have to consider all possible orientations as mentioned in the abstract above, so the calculations have to each......

...Marginal Utility:
* Total utility (TU) is the total amount of satisfaction or pleasure a person derives from consuming some specific units of good or service.
* Marginal utility (MU) is the extra satisfaction a consumer realizes from an additional unit of that product.
* MU is the change in total utility that results from the consumption of 1 more unit of a product.
* Moreover, MU declines as the consumer acquires additional units of a given product
* How would the graphs of TU and MU shape?
Marginal Utility and Elasticity:
* We already know the relationship between MU and demand curve through the law of DMU
* The amount by which marginal utility declines as more units of a product are consumed helps us determine that product’s price elasticity of demand
* Other things equal, if marginal utility falls sharply as successive units of a product are consumed, demand is inelastic.
* Conversely, modest declines in marginal utility as consumption increases imply an elastic demand.
If MU is falling rapidly that means quantity demanded increases at a relatively smaller rate than price change
Theory of Consumer Behavior:
* A typical consumer behavior has the following dimensions:
* Rational Behavior – Maximizes utility
* Preferences – MU varies across products
* Budget Constraint – Maximum limit
* Prices – Across products, individuals, budget
* Of all the different combinations of gods and services a......

I’ve never made a bad decision. I’ve just had bad data.
— Joshua Boger, CEO and Founder of Vertex Pharmaceuticals
Like many New Englanders on this bright October morning in 2003, Josh Boger, CEO of Vertex
Pharmaceuticals, had been up until 2:00 a.m. the previous evening watching the Boston Red Sox
playoff game. The game, predictably, ended in a heartbreaking loss for the Red Sox, but Boger’s
lingering disappointment (and regret over staying up so late) quickly faded as he strode down the
halls of the Cambridge, Massachusetts company he had founded 15 years earlier. Vertex had four
promising drugs in various stages of clinical development, and Boger was excited by the possibilities:
“The portfolio is playing out exactly as we hoped. We’ve got a stream of revenues from our partnered
project that will help fund our development costs. There are multiple paths for us to become
profitable. We’re in a position to choose.”
While the company had revenue from various corporate partnerships and roughly......
